Words can not express how we felt about Doug. He was so good, kind and helpful to all his friends and family. He never spoke ill of anyone or complained. He had so much love to give. He was such a believer of life, we were not surprised when we found out he was an organ donor. Someone out there has a most loving and caring heart!

Doug was employed by Service Chevrolet for eight years. While employed he attained membership in Chevrolet’s society of sales executives for four consecutive years.

Doug died suddenly one foggy morning only blocks away from home in an automobile accident. From the very start of this, I could see God’s love, grace and mercy because He did not let him suffer. He was immediately brain dead.

Thank you to Rapides Regional Medical Center for their annual Tree of Life Ceremony today! It was a wonderful, emotional gathering and an amazing experience to share with donor families. The tree is located in the South Tower Lobby of the hospital.

A quick listen to 'The Gifted Life' podcast and you'll hear our hosts repeating...ONE person can make a difference in the world of donation!
Well, Rodie of 'Metro City Driving Academy' is one of those people!
See all those forms Rodie is holding in the attached picture? Those are all registration forms! She's helping to increase Louisiana's donor registry. Her motivation? Her friend, her HERO - Daniel. His picture is a fixture on the class walls (see him in the white hat?) She also lines her walls with donation information. Daniel saved and enhanced lives through donation. Rodie wants to save more people, too - in Daniel's honor. Thanks, Rodie for helping us MAKE LIFE HAPPEN! #DonateLife #DonateLifeLA #Podcast #TheGiftedLife
